Plettenberg Bay has been awarded 8 international Blue Flag Awards for the 2025/2026 season and a Green Coast Award for Nature’s Valley at the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA) Blue Flag and Green Coast Awards.
Welcome to our contemporary Guest House set in its peaceful, tranquil gardens on the edge of Tsitsikamma National Park. Lily Pond is a heaven of space and fresh air, away from the crowd.
Located close to Natures Valley's beach & Lagoon with its breathtaking nature, walking trails, abundant bird life and adventures of the Garden Route National Park.
The scenic route from Plettenberg Bay winds through rural farmlands and indigenous forests, and dips down to beach village Nature's Valley on the edge of the Tsitsikamma section of the Garden Route National Park. It's on this route that you'll find Lily Pond Country Lodge - with its beautiful lily ponds surrounded by 12 hectares of natural-style gardens, indigenous forest and well-known restaurant on site.
